Whoopsie haha accidentally just posted the best jrpg ever made oops hope we don't have a discussion about it

lol git gud i beat the snes version like 2 years ago (you only get 3 party members in that one), now i'm playing the ds version version and I beat the haunted housekeeper at level 6. it's called strategy. use dazzle then spam frizz. find more strategies and stop sucking

I only had to grind in DQXI at the end and there were exploits built in to make it less painful.
Get all the way through the volcano, marriage, and the horse without grinding even a bit.

The only time i've had any problem with DQV5s "level curve" is when I got to the literal last dungeon since I went full human team.

It's not that bad. Honestly even I think DQ8s completely shits on it in terms of difficulty because there's are so many points to that game where the game just tans your ass with a new mob that dodges,has high HP and lots of damage

>DQV5
fuck why did I do that

I remember beating the SNES version without grinding for Metal Slimes at least, I'm pretty sure I only killed a few and never even killed a Liquid Metal

not him but the only grinding I had to do was the ghost house since my characters were too low level to out DPS him. Once you get monsters and debuffs the game isnt that much of a challenge, not even the super bosses

Use status effects and buffs retard

I don't know, the game just got progressively harder to just go through for me to the point that I couldn't enjoy it.

But the level curve is at the fucking start of the game, you only have to grind once and then never again.

I didn't have very much trouble with VIII at all until the 3DS post-game stuff, now that was fuckin hard
The hardest DQ post-game though is definitely DQIX if you really wanna go all-out

I don't know, maybe I was just running a bad party then because monsters were annoying to level up since they start lower than the party and I don't remember debuffs being all that reliable on bosses. MP was an issue too in some parts.

I'm replaying this right now. Just got the circle of water and am about to marry Deborah for the third time.

I feel like DQXI is the hardest due to all the crazy settings you can put on it

But user, that's actually the second best Jrpg ever made. But don't worry, you were close. Just go down a couple numbers and you've got it.

see Buffs and debuffs didn't make enough of a difference either when I used them.

Oh yeah Draconian mode is great
Has anyone finished a full Draconian run? Every setting enabled?

You mean up.

>Every setting enabled
That sounds like absolute hell, hard enemies is enough.

I would say DQIII and maybe DQVII are better personally but DQV has a special place in my heart being my first DQ game.
I forgot that was even a thing. The art change is sort of weird but it's not awful or anything. It's interesting how many animated cgi films Japan has been making, usually they seem to never delve into full cgi.

Got one on my first encounter
I never got a slime knight though
I don't know if I was really lucky or if its something I did or what

Slime King is 1/30 I believe, rarer but not on the ridiculous end like some of the 1/256 monsters. Slime Kinght has a nice 1/4 chance of being recruited and is so string you can use it up to the final boss, he's just that good.

the ratios are truly the most random shit in V

I've never recruited a Restless Armor despite trying for an hour but I've recruited an Archdemon first battle.

I realized after I beat hard enemies that I could've reasonably done everything except no equipment and shypox. Those two are just retarded and and only exist for the ultimate masochist tryhards.

You have great taste, user, I agree

Deborah > Nera > Bianca

The only tier list you need.

So apparently all the monster dissapear after you beat the demon king
The daughter says so, I guess MCs talent becomes useless

Nera literally has negative personality. Before Deborah, you were choosing between a hot blonde country girl who was your childhood best friend, and being set for life. The introduction of Deborah means a second way to be set for life, only this time your wife isn't a fucking robot.

No equipment basically forces you to use status effects every battle

Is it true that this is generally considered the best within the community or is this a contrarian opinion? I’ve been looking to get into this series and lord knows I’m not playing through every single one.

Attached: 56108F31-75D6-4227-B89F-2C949934F38D.jpg (433x433, 38K)

It also prevents you from putting costumes on your characters, which is like half of the fun of the game. There's no defending shypox, though, that's just asking to beat your head against a wall.

Generally considered the best by almost any person who likes RPGs.

Pacing is really good.
Characters, story everything is honestly really good.

Play III then V then VIII
those are the mandatory ones
If you like III the most, play IX next
If you like V the most, play IV next
If you like VIII the most, play XI next
then play the others if you want

>contrarian
Fuck off back to r*ddit/twitter.
But seriously, V and VIII are generally considered the best games, and the best entries for newcomers.

this isnt even smash autism fuck off and go back to shitposting on the erdrick threads

considered the best by nearly every fan
even 8 isnt as well liked as 5

what the fuck there are people who think contrarian is now a "reddit" word
Are you niggers kidding me now

FPBP DESU

based af, user.

i agree as well im sick of toriyama's art style and chrono trigger is my favorite jrpg of all time

The only people who use the word are soibois who are obsessed with the concept of 'irony'. Normal, well-adjusted human beings don't do things in their free time to be 'counter-culture'. The very concept is openly admitting what kind of person you are.

i've only seen the high praise of V around here. Every where else people think 4 and 8 are the best

What's included in the season pass, just extra block DLC? Can people without DLC play online with people that have DLC?

Pretty sure it's Switch exclusive for now.

How is Nera in any way more interesting?

Too much of a bitch even when you're married with her and have kids she's still a bitch. That was inconsistent as fuck to me

Some women never stop being sarcastic bitches even when you put babies in them, user.

There wasn't a drop of love in her dialogue, it was just badly written in my opinion.

She was shoehorned into the DS version and it shows.

ps2 or ds

I wish I'd bought this back when it when it got reprinted a few years ago

Yeah, I get the feeling she was added as an option for beta males that like to get stepped on. Still more interesting than Nera, though.

Personally I prefer playing JRPGs portably
Like I prefer it a lot
So DS for me
But the music in the PS2 version is orchestrated, and the fan translation is arguably better than the official one
Graphics are trash though
Also play DS if you're Asuka > Rei

As that other user said, you'd think the MC would've fucked the bitchiness out of her, but no, two kids later and she's still a cunt.

Cool but does someone have to own the DLC to play with others with the DLC? There's online multiplayer with friends right?

Nigga thats literally the very opposite of inconsistent as fuck
Besides she is nice by the end. She just has a very abrasive way of expressing her love.

Though I admit I hated her at first and came real fucking close to reloading and picking someone else several times until I was almost at Gotha and it's just too late to do everything in between over again
After that I just got used to it. Though it's not like the wife in your party after anyway until near endgame

>"nigga"
>literally picked the domineering jewess his FIRST time through the game
You're a fucking pussy, dude.

People don't become submissive just because you fuck them

Women start to drop their bitchy facades once they become mothers, you retarded teenaged fuck who knows nothing beyond high school.

My favorite Dragon Quest, though I haven't played XI yet since I am waiting for the switch version. Wondering how it'll stack up to V and VIII.

Because in spite of her bitchiness she's simply more interesting and oddly enough the most developed.

>Nera is a sweet and demure trophy wife
>Bianca is the 'canon' wife who is pretty much in love with you from the moment you meet as adults
>Deborah is the hardass who initially treats you like a slave but gradually warms up to you, most notably from the point that she's captured by horse

>a pussy for choosing a video game character
Get a fucking grip, it's a game not real life. After playing though again shes still more entertaining than Nera and Bianca so yeah I'd still say shes the best choice despite my annoyance at her.

>can't handle simple bantz

For what? Are you mentally disabled.

Candlejack is getting people that didn't even say his

Yeah, let's just update every single game needlessly into perpetuity, even when it was originally for the fucking SNES. Sounds like a great idea, you stupid fucking teenager.

None of that is true

DQV isn't even super entry-level
Here are the first three JRPGs a norman plays:
>Earthbound
>Chrono Trigger
>Final Fantasy VII

Still better than Nera. Cope.

Is it called Draconian mode out of irony for the series being stuck in the past

>calling everybody a teenager
alright kid, settle down.

Are you not counting pokemon and mario

fuck all of you fucks dragon warrior monsters was the real shit

no hurr durr I can only use 5 main characters

the game had at least 200 monsters all with their own unique stats, abilities, resistances and typing

god teir rpg

>Earthbound
That one's just a meme at this point, I know more people who say they like Earthbound but have never beat it than people who I know who've beaten Earthbound.

of course not
that'd be like counting pokemon in normie anime listings

>doesn't want a wife, just a onahole

>even when it was originally for the fucking SNES.
Sounds like a great idea to update it

yes and?

add persona 5, FF isn't even played by normalfags anymore for being icky ewy turn based
Persona 5 is flashy enough to hold their attention.

Is Lufia 2 worth a play? Was thinking of giving it a go

Provide a single good piece of music from that game. Only the overworld theme is decent.
Story and characters are threadbare.
Characterization is barely existent, thanks to the MC being a silent protagonist. At best you can hear the thoughts of your bride and children, depending of your location.
Gameplay is just debuffing the enemies' defenses and buffing your own melee attacks.
Collecting monsters is initially interesting, then you figure out that some monsters have a fucking level cap while others don't, and many of your monsters are just inferior versions of the shit you'll find later. Slime Knight being one of the very rare exceptions.
Magic felt fucking pointless and the spell distribution is seemingly random and without any reasons.
It was shit back in 1992, it's still shit now. So much for the "best" game in the franchise.

What games do you think are good, psyops-kun?

JRPG-wise? Good fucking question. Lost Odyssey was the last JRPG I truly enjoyed, but it still had major flaws like humans being completely useless.

You don't like SMT or Etrian? Those absolutely bust your balls with every decision you make. Very satisfying when you finally get the 'winning' strat.

Pretty great, better puzzles than zelda and great combat system.

Never touched SMT, to be honest. Might have to rectify that. Etrian is fun, sure, but I don't really consider it a JRPG. I'm more likely to file it under dungeon crawler, which it does pretty greatly, in my opinion. But Etrian still feel like it'll punish you hard if you don't get an healer, be it a full blown healer who can't do shit besides healing or a more esoteric class that manages fill the healer role while doing other shit.
